I loved Nathan Fillion in "Firefly" and "Serenity," and I loved what James Gunn did with "Dawn of the Dead," so I'll be disappointed if I don't love this, too. Especially since I didn't see it at the theater, and I'll probably buy the DVD sight unseen. A Halloween release, of course. What a long wait!

Looks like Image put out the laserdisc, so they might still own the rights for home distribution. Oddly enough, this seems to have been a TriStar production and I would guess that Sony now holds those rights. Whoever it is, I'd like to see Night of the Creeps eventually make it to DVD. I barely remember the movie, see it once in the late 80s on HBO.

I wanted this to do well, then maybe they might release Night Of The Creeps! I think maybe this came out a the wrong time? people are not really jonesing for comedy horror at the mooment, they wan't grumesome gore flicks like Hostel and Hills Have Eyes. Lets hope it sells on dvd!

Was anyone else out there hoping that this movie would be more or less "Captain Mal vs. The Space Slugs," since Nathan Fillion was in it? I'm kinda blanking, have there been any other really good campy horror comedies since Army of Darkness?

Those who are expecting a straight horror movie, will likely be disappointed. This has as much comedy as horror. I loved it though, don't know exactly why. I'm not surprised that they waited until closer to Halloween to release the DVD.

Well I will rent it and see if Slither can rise above Wolf Creek,Hostel,The Cave,King Kong 2005,Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Frankenfish, Fear.com, The Grudge,The Ring, Ghost Ship, Williard, what else have I rented that was poo...oh yeah, the remake of the Fog...man I have seen some really modern day Shlock.. I did like Exorcism of Emily Rose,Exorcist the Beginning, Saw, as far as the modern horror film goes.. I do look foward to seeing Slither. If it is like Tremors I will like it, if it is a cross between Jackass the movie & any of the above horror films I didnt like, it will be a long 90-120 minutes...

I've been waiting for this news since I saw it in March. dsman71 wrote: Probobly it will be another c**ppy new wave horror flick like many I have seen before with no-name actors, characters I dont care about,stupid situations, superfast edits ala Saw, etc.You're not even close.

Thats great news and I can see why they waited...It was alot of fun and I liked how it had other themes to it and made it more than just a forgettable horror filck. I'm hoping they use the movie poster too!

Imagine that...Universal holding out and releasing a horror film that underachieved at the box office but will probably do well on DVD right around Halloween. Hmm...methinks that's the reason for the longer than normal wait fellas.

This is the one with Worms & Slugs. I remember now...well since there was the movie Squirm (GOOD MOVIE!!) and the movie Slugs(BAD MOVIE!) I will have to rent it & pray I havent wasted time watching it or money renting it....

Ive never seen this one, but I will rent it first. This is the one with snakes right ? Probobly it will be another c**ppy new wave horror flick like many I have seen before with no-name actors, characters I dont care about,stupid situations, superfast edits ala Saw, etc. That being said, I hope the monsters are cool. Monsters can save a film for me on occasion(The Gate)..
